Google and Vanity Fair took the time to email me this evening to let me know I wouldn’t be able to attend their big party tomorrow night in Denver for the Democratic National Convention. The only problem is I never asked to attend. Actually I never even heard of it until tonight. But I asked around and lots of other people are getting this email as well. Is this their way of letting everyone know that they’re holding a really cool party and hanging out with the Vanity Fair Hollywood crowd? Or just some mixup in the email list? Who knows. But suddenly I feel kind of left out.
In the future though, Google, please wait until I actually ask to get into something really cool before you kick me off the list. :-)
